I think it depends on the 'depth' of the AI - for example, Alpha Go came up with a move, called 'miraculous' and 'sublime' by the world's top players (some hyperbole, perhaps), that no-one had envisaged, that no human player would have played ...
We can't know that no human would have ever conceived of those moves. And people are impressed by beautiful rock formations they never would have conceived, calling them sublime. This conversation is somewhat humorous. As one person alluded, the question of responsibility for AI actions very closely resembles arguments over God & the problem of evil. This particular line of the conversation resembles arguments about intelligent design.
Before fully answering what you've said, I need some clarification on what you think intelligence is? In short, if an entity is not free to think its thoughts, is that intelligence? What the AI is doing is just a more sophisticated version of an optimizer searching a nonlinear space. It's not having independent thoughts. It's searching that space according to the rules forced upon it. It does not invent the space, nor can it ever decide to leave the space. It's just searching the space.
